DNV DNVGL-ST-0026 PDF

The standard identifies a suggested minimum level of knowledge and skills for people in various roles on board a vessel using LNG as fuel. This standard can be used in the following ways:

— As a reference to familiarise or assess people in their specific role in relation to LNG.

— As a reference for global competence and defining training requirements.

— As a guide to training providers, who are to develop courses according to the requirements of the standard and needs of the industry.

— As a reference document for e.g. certification of personnel.

Standard equipment is supposed to be covered by current competence. (e.g. engines, heating system, compressors). Detailed competence in relation to e.g. fire-fighting and first aid is not covered in this standard.

The standard does not contain competence requirements for LNG cargo operators for vessels involved in transporting LNG as cargo. These can be found in DNV GL competence standard DNV GL-ST-0010 Competence of shipboard LNG cargo operators.
